The Simple Dollar Weekly Roundup: Live Baseball Edition

Several people have written me asking whether I actually go to a lot of live baseball games. I do not.

For starters, I live pretty far from a major league team. The closest park is about three hours away.

There are some minor league teams in the area and we’ve attended a few of their games. For the entertainment, the price is pretty good, but there’s an edge of excitement that’s just not there.

For me, games are a big treat, not a routine. I find other ways to enjoy baseball.

How to Fail at Habits For me, it’s the failure in the moment. If I can keep convincing myself early on to try a particular tactic, over and over again, it eventually becomes second nature. (@ zen habits)

Finding Room for the Spontaneous I have a small amount I set aside each month with which I can do whatever I want to do. That money has resulted in things like board games, cast iron pots for the kitchen, and trips with friends (after saving for a few months). (@ get rich slowly)

Todd – What Trent said makes sense to me. He values major league games more than minor league games, because of the excitement. Major league games are worth going to, but they’re far away, so they’re a special treat.
